  1. Dave, With difficulty, through tears, I say thank you to them, to her and to you......GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!
  2. HAHAHAHA !!!! Two words............ THIRD BASE !
  3. Probably got sick due to lack of sleep.... I mean, how else could you get to more than 1000 posts !!!!!! Kid'n, keen GET WELL SOON ! P.S. How's the bride ?
  4. Hi dlynn, I too have a 510 passthrough (What a bargain.... that rocks !). I went to ebay to find a usb car charger and found a kit that contained that and a wall charger for $4.95 with free shipping.... Got it today.... It's sturdy and works great !
  5. NICE... Keenan, I also love F.T. And would vote for him in a heartbeat.... We may again have a chance ! I think, now was not the time for him.... A true conservative is usually the one elected after a liberal regime, and visa versa..... History has proven that time and time again. FTJoe, again, great points ! Call me a simpleton (My wife does !) but I try to make judgments based on what is to me obvious common sense (Again debatable with me !). Lets face it, you can show me articles and polls "Proving" your point ... And so can I ! The proof is always in the pudd'n. Corruption, Government and Business are synonymous. And that statement is even more true, with greater government power..... Name your favorite dictator ! So I guess what I'm saying is that, simply put, money and power breeds corruption... Always has, always will. So asking the government to save us from the evil bred is like asking the fox to guard the chicken coup ! Yes, we, the little guy suffer the consequences of "Their" actions ! Our only hope is that sometimes "We" can tell the difference between the fox and the chicken ! I must say it is so refreshing to have an honest, mature discussion with "Grown-ups"....... I LOVE YOU'S GUY'S !!!!!!!!!!!
  6. Valid points all FTJoe ! But I do really believe that there is a very sharp edge between freedom and Gov't protection... I think we are a lot better off with big brother saying out of it. I have never seen them "Fix" anything. Protection turns into control and THAT definitely "Trickles" down. There have been 3 major market "Crashes" in our history. The one in '29 was met by massive gov't intervention and lasted for more than a decade... The one in '87, which was actually bigger, was left alone and brought about a very shallow recession and a minor, short term drop in unemployment.... This one, 2008, once again massive intervention (Bush and Obama), and by most accounts is expected to last a decade as well. I certainly never meant to imply that the government, using our tax dollars, should bail anything out ! If it is to fail it should fail ! There is always a next in line to fill the void..... and often better. As far as adding multiple candidates onto a ballot, again, we end up with a non-majority (Maybe only 35%...or less) victor. Remember the Bush/Clinton election. The Ross Perot effect... Clinton won with only 37% of the vote.... Is satisfying only 1/3 of the electorate really the answer ? Unfortunately the electoral college is still necessary, otherwise Presidential elections would be decided by Los Angeles, New York, Boston and Chicago.... And though one political stripe would relish that, the rest of the country would be left without a voice. This is America ! And you make a profound point that, as a taxpayer, you have paid the price to bit#$.... I concede the point, you don't have to vote ! However, many Brave men and women have died (In just wars... or not) believing in that basic right. So I would offer that maybe just entering the booth and writing in "Bozo the Clown" would still honor their sacrifice !!!
  7. I placed an order for one today.... Along with some VT Exotic Tobacco..... Can't wait to try 'em both !!!
  8. Hey CNubel, thanks for the post I found the article very interesting...... though a bit vague. Like most other such articles the interviewee stops just short of saying "If e-cigarettes are bad... prove it" ! And they all say the government needs to study then regulate. I say we are adults... let us decide !!
  9. Wow Keen ! I wasn't sure you could count that high !! Congratulations my man ! I read 'em all and look forward to the next 1000 !
  10. Voting is our ultimate right.... It's our ticket to bi#$^ ! And yes, sometimes we are left with the choice of lessor/greater evils but if we don't choose we end up with the latter !! The problem with a third or forth (And so on) party is that we end up with a leader elected by 1/3 or less of the voters...... Then, literally, no one is happy. The debate becomes watered down so far that you end up voting for someone on maybe just one issue ! As far as the Goldman Sach' of the world, they are the engine that makes the whole thing run. Yes, we are the fuel, but without a place to work we have nothing. Employment comes through investment. It doesn't matter whether it's a large, medium or small business. Even our beloved e-cig suppler entrepreneurs get their "Product" and or raw materials form a large company (Chinese or not). Every "System" throughout history has a ruling class and an underclass.... and always will. What has made America great was the creation of the before unknown "Middle" class... which makes up the bulk of our citizens. Look around yourself.... computer, big screen, microwave, ipod, cellphone, multiple cars........... Need I say more ! Even our "Downtrodden" are wealthier than most of the rest of the world !! Thank you "Evil Conglomerates" !!! As Gordon Gecko once said "Greed works" ! These conglomerates, though sometimes "Evil" are a necessary one. The real mistake we have made is that rather than speaking loudly against the worst of these with our pocketbooks, we have asked the government to "Protect" us and thus handing over the power. Someone once said that "Freedom is dangerous"..... We have to protect ourselves from "Snake oil salesmen". SORRY ! Did I just say that out loud ?
  11. Thanks guys for the great reply's (AHHH, poetry) ! I think I will try just blowing them clear occasionally and keep vaping till they quit. I was also vaping some coffee flavored juice that was pretty thick and really dark. I think that may have had an adverse effect. I'm on a new atty now that has been working for a few days without clogging (Gummed up, not the wooden shoe dance)...... We'll see how long it lasts. Christopher, do you stock the gold band because you think they perform better, have a longer life or look cooler ?!?!?!?!?
  12. SHHHHH ! Man you're ruin'n my rep........ Now I gotta play nice !!! ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH !
  13. For me its 3 words: Drip, Vape, Repeat !!! Always fresh !
  14. Remember Jimmy Carter gave us Reagan the Great !!!!!!!!!!
